Old Business:
Mr. Whitehill presented an overview of the Wharf Park project. The new picnic tables and grills
for the Wharf have arrived. The tables are eight-foot-long metal tables with one handicap
accessible table. Water has been connected to the six power-towers at the dock and two yard-
hydrants.
Mr. Whitehill advised that the Town still has available grant funding left which could be used for
new swing sets or bulletin cases. A bulletin case can be displayed on each pavilion for notice of
reservation or regulations. Mr. Whitehill advised that he spoke to several parents to get opinions
about new swing sets. They all agreed that additional swing sets are needed but they did not like
the bucket swing or toddlers swing as they are bulky and cumbersome. After discussion,
Mr. Magary made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Ryan, to purchase four bulletin cases for
the Wharf pavilions and four additional swing sets; two swings for ages 2-5 and two swings for
ages 5-12. One of each swing set will be placed at Millstream Park and the Wharf. The motion
passed unanimously.
Mr. Whitehill advised that Town Council mentioned Phase II of the Millstream Trail at their last
Council meeting and people have begun to inquire and they seem excited. Discussion on the trail
project is moving forward.

Ms. Mileski discussed planting daffodils along Millstream Trail and getting the public involved
by donating bulbs and assisting with planting. She asked how best to get the word out to drop off
donations in August and September. Suggestions included speaking with Ms. D'Agostino to
have the information placed on Facebook, including information in the Town circular and Town
email blast. Mr. Whitehill asked Ms. Mileski to draft a notice as to what is being done and what
the Board is looking for so when the information goes out people are informed.
Ms. Mileski asked if a small pocket park can be placed on the East side of Town near
Pennsylvania Avenue. Mr. Whitehill has plans showing the possibility of a pocket park in that
area. He will share those plans via email.
